Car bomb explosion kills 10 in Syrian border town
At least 10 people were killed and 20 others injured
on Saturday in a car bomb blast in the Syrian border town of Tal Abyad
controlled by Turkish forces, Syrian state media reported.
The reports stated that the injured were taken to
the city hospital, adding that the death toll could rise due to some who
suffered serious injuries.
Areas controlled by regime forces in northern Raqqa
in the past few days have witnessed nine similar explosions. The SANA news
agency also reported that Turkish forces have waged a “violent attack” on Ayn
Eissa in the northern countryside of Raqqa on Saturday.
In a statement on Facebook, the Autonomous
Administration of North and East Syria (NES) said that Turkish forces and their
factions “continue to violate the ceasefire agreement and occupy more of our
areas.”
They said that the attack on Ayn Eissa displaced
thousands and “exacerbated the humanitarian crisis.”
“Erdogan continues to use the Syrian refugees card
as a bargaining chip for political investments,” the statement read.
They called on the EU and all countries to clarify
their position and impose sanctions on Turkey.
